Any good ones you'd recommend? I'm looking for something close to $1000. Multiple drop-off's are fine, doesn't have to be direct.

How about to Chicago. Check out autolog.net. They can put in on a closed car carrier train from LA. Short drive from there....

Do you or any friends have experience with them? Definitely want to make sure whoever I used has a good record of service w/no prob's. I checked out their site and got an online quote. Seems they've been in biz for a long time, which is good. Just want to get some firsthand accounts to be sure. Thanks!

Anyone else have other suggestions? Really appreciate it.

All I can say is dont use Dependeable Auto Shippers. I paid extra for enclosed shipment, but when I picked up my car it so damn dirty. Plus their customer services is awful

I've used intercity lines twice and they were awesome. Probably be about $1500 for that shipment route.

Amen to that. It's a wonder they're still in business?!

Cheap/good does not work for transporting nice cars.

My transporter ripped a 2" diameter hole in my exhuast.

Not good.

I've got a very good contact for shipping - you can try jefftunnell@netzero.net - he's a broker but he offers very personalized service and follow through.

Other 6speeders have used him and offered their stamp of approval.

Another vote for Jeff Tunnell. Trust me, he is THE man. He has arranged shipping for a number of my cars and always come through.

Just had Intercity deliver my car from Texas to NJ last week. It was 1591. Checked a lot of them and this was the best according to EOppinions 5 star rating. Car came in a covered carrier and was covered in Plastic. Car was perfect , on time and I was kept informed of its progress. Do it right
